Bringing 'Hidden Letters' to light

Holocaust story comes to UCSD workshop

“Our hope is that stories like these will be used by young people to realize that the Holocaust was a tremendous tragedy in recent history,” Hillman said. “I describe it to my students as a rupture in civilization. We all need to understand what it means for humanity, what it says about what humans are capable of.”

And what it says, in this instance, about how history sometimes hides in unusual places, waiting to be found.
